The Internet Is Enraged by This Mom’s Parenting

These kids have NO idea what strict parents are. This is nothing. In fact, I'm certain they will look back and appreciate these rules in the future.

The other day someone knocked on my door and I went to the door and nobody was there and I heard giggles and realised it was the kids on my street and I was so happy they’re just being KIDS 😂

I am a Gen X Mom. I became a Mom at 17.
My kids were allowed 1 hour of TV & 1 hour of computer a day. No cell phones until they turned 16, got a job & bought their own. And I could STILL take them away & got to look at them any time I wanted.
Chores each day, no allowance for taking care of your home. We did have certain jobs around the house to make some money to go hang out with friends, etc.
NO cuddling on the couch & no one of the opposite sex in your room at all.
My kids are all in their 30s now. They are responsible, respectful, happy and we are all very close to this day.

It's sad to live in a world where you have to justify, and apologize for, being a responsible parent.

As a detective that investigates internet crimes against children, this mother gets an A+. It is heartbreaking how much content comes across my desk that is self-generated and the rules she has in her house are what I tell parents would help drastically to prevent it. The amount of parents that roll their eyes and tell me those are unreasonable requests are alarming.

Predators are everywhere online and are waiting for you to stop caring about what your kids do online, I see it every day.

They think she's strict???? They do not know what strict is! Kids NEED boundaries They need rules and they NEED discipline!

I got tore up when I left a comment on another post about telling my boys when they were young that I was their mom and not their friend. So many people were aghast at this statement. Now they’re grown up and we’re on the best terms.

Need a wife like this. She's made the house a home. Kids need this from a mother. 10/10 woman.

As someone who grew up with a very lenient mother. IT WAS HELL. I was exposed to things I should have never been exposed to at that age. She was a single mother to if it wasn’t for my dads inference I would not be who I am today.

[kermitcausewhynot]

as a teen i can confirm that my mom is stricter than tiktoks strictest mom. i am not allowed to be places after like 10 pm (unless with a trusted family member), i am not allowed to have tiktok, snapchat, instagram, x, etc, i also have screen time limit for 3 hours total, i shouldn't have a grade worse than a C and my nails can't be too unnatural and long and no full face of makeup. i do have a laptop, tv and ipads in my room but that's because in their opinion i should rather look at a big screen from afar than to a smaller one up close. it does suck sometimes because some 12 year olds have more "freedom" than i do and i can feel left out when my friends do stuff i can't but i understand their reasonings. i just hope that it will all be over soon and other parents would be like this too haha

Kids with no rules become adults who cannot compromise who cannot sacrifice who cannot marry and who are NOT ABLE to say no to their own self and desires, they become kids prone to addiction. Of any type

[pinkytaylor]

Doctors say ADULTS shouldn't have tv or computers in their bedrooms....

When I turned 20 I thanked my parents for being strict with me and I am who I am today because of them ❤

[Thelifeofme-SDP]

My hubby and I do this. We’ve been told by ex friends that we were abusing our kids. 🙄

[dailywire_memes]

It’s interesting that people who have no experience with looking after children are always the people who think they know best.

Her problem begins with attempting to get validation from Tik Tok. It's like asking addicts to comment about living without their vice. Of course people are going to freak out.

One of the best things I hear from "strict parents" is when they explain WHY a rule exists. When I hear "because I am the parent and I say so" I know you are an authoritarian. When I hear reasons I know you love your kids and respect their intelligence and respect for you. Communication is key in all of this.

Strict parents can certainly lead to sneaky kids if there is no mutual respect. My mom was strict because she assumed I always had the worst intentions so I was forced to be sneaky to do things as simple as get ice cream after soccer practice.

As a middle schooler I had to be in by dark and my grandfather would randomly show up at the park.. my friends made fun of me but I didn't end up getting into drugs like most of my peers in my neighborhood

Lol they calling that strict?! I remember growing up without a cellphone until 17. One computer and it was shared between siblings with time limit, only for homework, video games off at 9pm, go trim the yard, go help your elderly neighbor with their chores. What they call strict is light weight compared to us OG’s
